I no longer reply to those that are too chicken shit to be logged in.
Bush is probably one of the worst presidents, rivaling even Hoover. I'm not the guy who replied to you, but I'll give it a shot with my own (more constructive) reply:
-Why, exactly, do I owe Bush "for keep us safe"?
-What "crisises" has he kept from "going realy bad"?
"Historically, the Democratic Party has supported organized labour, ethnic minorities, and progressive reform. It tends to favour greater government intervention in the economy and to oppose government intervention in the private, noneconomic affairs of citizens" The Republican party historically stood for laizzes-faire economics, minimal government, minimal government spending/programs, etc. Basically, the Republican party of old was much like the Libertarian party of modern times. Sadly, they have been severely corrupted and twisted over time.
Today, the Republican party essentially is full of rich white men who oppose civil rights/personal freedoms/etc and are in the pocket of large corporations. They closely mirror Fascism/corporatism economically but don't really have the dictatorial tendencies of Fascist governments (although recently passed laws such as the "Patriot Act" have effectively legalized many things which Americans historically would have considered oppressive). However, there are some Republicans who support "classic" Republican views (Ron Paul, to an extent), but many of those people have migrated to the Libertarian Party.
Today, the Democrats are somewhat split. There are the "classic liberals" who support many of the same ideals espoused historically by the Republican party. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of Democrats are seeking to create a "nanny state" and essentially seek to regulate many private affairs of citizens. Democrats also have strong corporatist leanings, but try to hide them.
To a non-American, both parties would appear right of center. I saw an article a few weeks ago comparing the perceived political spectrum between the US and the UK. Even the US Democratic party would be considered "right of center" in the UK, while "slightly liberal" UK parties would be seen as "extremely leftist" in the US (to the point of being called "communist").
(Yes, I know there is no word liminally... I just like playing with words and it does effectively get the point across.) The word you're looking for is superliminally.
And I seem to have the same thing with after long FPS sessions. I notice that I tend to focus in the center of my vision and that it's difficult to use my peripheral vision. Oh well, I'll continue to play them until my eyes are but mere smoldering craters in my head
Your example only works if everything is sold at-cost.
I can buy a $20 widget from Megacorp, or I can buy the same widget for $10 from Jimmy's Neighborhood Widget Shoppe. Megacorp sells the widget at $20, so in your (incorrect) example you can say that they make no profit since I pay $20 for it. Does this mean that Jimmy makes a negative profit (selling at a loss)?
RFID is easily "skimmed" (accessed by an unauthorized device) just by being close enough to it. Think about how close you are to people when you're in a queue. Hell, think about how close you get to people on the street. Pickpocketing is already easy, and RFID skimming takes maybe 1/10th the effort to accomplish.
A cellphone may be easily tracked, but you can purchase a prepaid phone with cash. Ultimately, you don't have to own a cell phone to be able to live and work. With something like a national ID, you better believe that it will be damn near impossible to do anything without it. Just try getting a job without an SSN.
They should, assuming that all the "Internet Safety" classes those hysterical moms created are actually doing their job. I often hear: "Do not give out personal information online.". How much more personal can you get than a photo (a nude photo especially)?
I'm sure they will all put their welfare checks and illicit moonshine profits together, buy this damn thing, then hack it up to use as ashtrays in their trailers.
What is with this retarded "mattress tag" meme that has been going on for years and years?
The warning states that the tag may only be removed by the consumer! Yes, you're the consumer! It's okay to remove the tag if you want!
I feel like a fucking nerd for pointing this out, but this is just getting obnoxious now
Exactly. For this recipe to work, it requires some other medium -- either some sort of fat or alcohol. Using milk instead of water yields great results!

CueCat. And it was RadioShack that distributed them. I still have mine -- they read any barcode with a simple mod.
Impossible to find? Around here they sell it at every 7-11
I don't think Ludacris cares either way

Everything that doesn't boil gets baked on permanently. I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through!

I love how it's not "liberal media" or "neo-con media". No, it's all media. RON PAUL vs THE WORLD also starring THE GOLD STANDARD and ABORTION AVENGER
